A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Concert Photographers: Has "crashing" a show worked out for you? (alien.top)

Got the artist's approval to shoot them at their next show but was never able to get in contact with their management. With less than a week and still no contact, my photo classmates and professor suggested showing up and just trying to make my way in. Getting the artists OK is cool and all but I feel like management has all the control and final say. Has anyone just showed up and smooth-talked their way into shooting a show?

I convinced a bouncer to let me into a Matisyahu concert with my DSLR and a 50mm prime lens because "it's not professional it doesn't even have zoom." Shot from the crowd and got some of the best concert photos I've ever taken!
